I laughed to
myself
because I
walked into a store and there sat on a shelf
it was
imagination for sale
buy one get
one free
and I thought
to myself I could get two just for me
I’ll put them
together and use them both
then I thought
again to myself I don’t really need that bread loaf
and I’ll save
up next week and maybe get four
I thought if I
could get more I’d barely make it out the door
I’d be real
special
I’d have more
thoughts than I could even try to wrestle
so off I ran
with two imaginations
the world was
a world of creation
patience lied
restless
and nests were
landing strips for jets
the ants
already knew that but we hadn’t figured it out yet
vultures were
air traffic control
hunters were
terrorists you know
it takes time
to know what I know
but when you
watch the grass grow
you see more
than just a blade
you see a
skyscraper and an ant parade
when you watch
the trees you might just see bark
but I see
something only seen in the dark
the trees are
old timers
grey hairs and
gold miners
digging down
into that earth
looking for
gold to make there life’s work
and when I see
the stars
I think of
getting a fast flying car
and just
blasting off
then laughing
at the cops
becoming the
first human satellite
hey with that
fourth imagination I just might
then I thought
of life
the living and
the dead
where do they
go after the bloods all been bled
are they just
dead
or is there
more
then I
realized I was still at the store
and I hadn't
even walked out of the door |
